Hartlepool Poppy Appeal launches as town set to remember fallen heroes

Once again, fundraisers will man a table in the centre until Remembrance weekend to raise money for the Royal British Legion.

Sian Cameron with her late father, Ian Cameron of Cameron Taxis, who ran the Hartlepool poppy appeal before his death.

Headed by Hartlepool’s Poppy Appeal organiser Sian Cameron, shoppers will be able to buy a variety of poppy memorabilia.

Sian took up the role from her father Ian Cameron eight years ago when he sadly passed away.

She said: “When I took over from my dad it became my mission to raise as much money as possible for the organisation and it’s thanks to the very generous donations from members of the public that has allowed our continued success.”
